II] :From before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord:
 * Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten:
 * When one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
 * I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail
 * In all the labours of your hands;
 * Yet ye turned not to me, saith the Lord.
 * Consider now from this day and upward,
 * From the four and twentieth day of the ninth month,
 * Even from the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, consider it.
 * Is the seed yet in the barn?
 * Yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth:
 * From this day will I bless you.

And again the word of the Lord came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, Speak to Zerubbabei, governor of Judah, saying,


 * shake the heavens and the earth;
 * And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms,
 * And I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen;
